Land Use Planning Commissioners today discussed a proposal to rezone an area of Penobscot County for a metallic mineral mine.

The hearing will continue this evening with public comment and further technical discussion tomorrow.

Wolfden Resource Corp. is trying again to rezone an area in northern Penobscot County, where it hopes to build a metallic metal mining operation. A previous attempt sparked concerns from environmentalists, Maine's tribes and others.

Building plans call for a new hotel, ski and surface lifts, brew pub and other infrastructure upgrades on Big Moose Mountain.
